Hello everyone! I'm happy to share the joy of celebrating the 21st anniversary of The Animation Academy in Burbank California! It was on this day January 19 1998 that we held our first class in the back room of a local restaurant. And for 21 years since we have kept it going!

Here's some additional good news for this special occasion. We're moving from our location on Magnolia Boulevard to a splendid facility on Hollywood Way. Still in the Magnolia Park region. Still in the same zip code. And just a few blocks away from the Warner Bros Studio main lot plus just 2 blocks away from Warner Bros TV Animation and just 1 block from the Animation Guild which is the union for our industry.

Some great additional news is that we'll be located in the same building as Center Stage Gallery which is a dedicated showplace for animation art and is owned by CTN (the Creative Talent Network) which is a major artist oriented organization and which sponsors a huge expo every year just down the road in November.

We'll be conducting our first class session at our new location (847 N Hollywood Way Suite 204) this coming Monday evening January 21. Here's a first look at where we're moving to.

Thank you to our friends here on Blogger who've been following us all these years. Very best wishes to you and Keep Creating !!

Lots of natural light...
